Yes and no. No, if the behavior you are trying to accumulate involves abstinence. In other words, you cannot reward quitting cigarettes with a smoke. But if you are not using abstinence as a strategy, then, yes, a piece of cake can definitely be a lovely reward. It helps, however, it the behavior is accompanied with honesty about the irony involved. You then acknowledge that the treat is a momentary and temporary break in the accumulation, that it may make things a little harder to restart, but that you believe it has been earned.
